The "Summary of Facts"
will set the foundation to support Plaintiff Counts as set forth herein.
However, a complete highly researched timelines of "911" by
American Citizen Mark R. Elsis
( http://911Timeline.net and http://StandDown.net
) who has agreed to testify to his research on behalf of Plaintiff, and
believed to be one of the "most comprehensive minute by minute accounts
of the events of "911".

When
in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and
to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station
to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the
causes which impel them to the separation.

We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men [and women] are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right
of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established
should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly
all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while
evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms
to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off
such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Preamble Of The Constitution
Of The United States

We
the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty
to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America.

This
911 Timeline Is Dedicated To The Following:

This timeline is dedicated
to the (3052 or 3056) people who lost their life on 911. It is especially
dedicated to the highest act of love one human can show to another. It
is for the 343 Bravest from The New York City Fire Department and the
60 Finest from The Port Authority and The New York City Police Forces,
who lost their life, in the hope of saving the life of others.

It
is also dedicated to John O�Neill who died on his second day on the job
as head of security for the World Trade Center (WTC). Strangely, before
his new job at the WTC John O�Neill resigned as the chief of the FBI Terror
Task Force responsible for the investigation into al-Qaeda and Usama bin
Laden. He resigned the FBI in disgust because he was not allowed to do
his job in going after al-Qaeda and Usama bin Laden.

It
is also dedicated to Scott Shuger, who was the only mainstream or alternative
media writer, beside myself, who had the courage to write about the elementary
mathematical facts (that the two United States Air Force (USAF) F-15 fighters
ordered to intercept United Airlines Flight 175 and the two or three USAF
F-16 fighters ordered to intercept American Airlines Flight 77 were flying
at only 25.8% and 27.4% of their top speed) of the NORAD Press Release
of September 18, 2001. Scott�s article is called IGNORAD The Military
Screw-up Nobody Talks About. Scott Shuger astonishingly died in a scuba
diving accident on June 15, 2002.

Finally,
this timeline it is dedicated to all of us who search and expose the truth,
with a special thanks to one of the most courageous Americans, Meria Heller.
Meria was the only person in the media (I asked all mainstream and alternative)
who would allow me to talk about what really happened on September 11,
2001.
Please listen to and support The Meria Heller Show: http://www.Meria.net

When
reading this 911 Timeline, be particularly aware of the parts that deal
with the September 18, 2001 NORAD Press Release about the response times
of the United States Air Force. Also please keep the four following significant
pieces of information in mind.
NORAD Press Release: http://StandDown.net/NORADSeptember182001PressRelease.htm

1)
The United States Government will spend more on the military in fiscal
year 2003, than all the rest of the countries on Earth combined. Current
expenditures are 437 billion and our past obligations are 339 billion,
this equals 776 billion. Forty-Six Percent Of Our Taxes Go To The Military:
http://www.warresisters.org/piechart.htm
This figure doesn�t even account for all of the off-budget, black projects,
nor the 40+ billion the United States will spend on intelligence in 2003.

2)
The United States Air Force is the most technologically advanced, and
the most dominate military force ever known to man.

3)
New York City and Washington D.C. are far and away the top two cities
in the United States that would be targeted by terrorists.

4)
In the over one hundred year history of steel high-rises and skyscrapers
there has never been a single one, which has collapsed due to fire. On
September 11, 2001 there were three such structures, which fell, World
Trade Center Buildings Numbers One, Two and Seven.

2)
12:45 a.m.: Willie Brown, the Mayor of San Francisco gets a call from
what he described as his airport security advising him that Americans
should be cautious about their air travel on September 11th.
Mayor Brown was scheduled to fly from San Francisco to New York City on
September 11th.

3)
6:00 a.m.: A van occupied by Middle Eastern men pulls up to The Colony
Beach and Tennis Resort on Longboat Key, Florida. They state they have
an interview with Bush. They are turned away for not having an appointment.

4)
6:30 a.m.: Bush goes for a four mile jog around the golf course at the
Colony Beach and Tennis Resort.

5)
6:45 a.m.: Two hours before the first attack, two workers at the instant
messaging company Odigo receive messages warning of the WTC attack. This
Israeli owned company has its headquarters two blocks from the WTC.

8)
7:59 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 11 a Boeing 767-223ER with a maximum
capacity of 181 passengers and 23,980 gallons of fuel, lifts off from
Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, bound for Los Angeles
International Airport in Los Angeles, California. Take-off was scheduled
for 7:45. There
are supposed to be 92 victims on board American Airlines Flight 11, yet
when you add up the official death manifest list that was published on
CNN.com, there are only 86 victims.

The same goes for the other three flights
of September 11th. Add up the passenger and crew lists from all 4 flights
of 911 and you have officially 266 people on board. Yet when one adds up
the 4 official death manifest lists published on CNN.com, there are only
229 names. Somehow 37 people are missing from the 4 CNN.com official death
manifest lists, including all 19 of the hijackers. There is not even one
Arabic name there. Why?http://911Timeline.net/36or37missingand70percentempty.htm

The 4 airliners of September 11th, 2 Boeing 767�s
and 2 Boeing 757�s had a total passenger seating capacity of 762 people.
There are only 229 passengers and crew members on the four death lists,
so, how could these flights possibly be 70% empty?http://911Timeline.net/36or37missingand70percentempty.htm

9)8:01
a.m.: United Airlines Flight 93 a Boeing 757-222 with a maximum capacity
of 200 passengers and 11,489 gallons of fuel, rolls from the gate in Newark
International Airport, Newark, New Jersey with 44 people aboard bound
for San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco, California.United
Airlines Flight 93 will sit on the ground for 41 minutes before taking
off. There are supposed to be 44 victims on board, yet when you add up
the official death manifest list that was published on CNN.com, there
are only 33 victims.

A
few seconds later the Controller asks: AAL11 now climb maintain FL350
[35,000 feet] Controller: AAL11 climb maintain FL350 Controller: AAL11
Boston. There is no response from American Airlines Flight 11.

11)
8:14 to 8:20 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 11 goes off course and is
hijacked.

12)
8:14 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 175 a Boeing 767-222 with a maximum
capacity of 181 passengers and 23,980 gallons of fuel, lifts off from
Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, bound for Los Angeles
International Airport in Los Angeles, California. Take-off was scheduled
for 7:58. There are supposed to be 65 victims on board, yet when you add
up the official death manifest list that was published on CNN.com, there
are only 56 victims.

13)8:17
a.m.: American Airlines Flight 11 passenger Daniel Lewin, who belongs
to the Israel Defense Force Sayeret Matkal, a top-secret counter-terrorist
unit is either stabbed or shot to death. Quite the coincidence he would
be onboard.

If
a pilot loses their transponder the controllers console immediately alerts
him to this fact since he no longer has the transponder code and altitude.
This causes the controllers a great deal of trouble and very shortly the
pilot also has trouble. The pilot is instructed to stay below 3,500 feet
and return to the airport. The reason for the concern is the pilot is
a hazard to navigation. Now imagine the situation in the Air Traffic Control
Center.

The
northeast corner of the United States is the busiest airspace on the planet.
Each controller has a wedged shaped sector that he is responsible for.
His airspace is also bounded by altitude limits. Commercial flights are
always under positive control, they must constantly be in communication
with the controllers in order to maintain legal separation. If one of
these heavies loses its transponder, it causes instant problems for more
than one controller since altitude information is lost.

The
controllers still have a skin paint, or passive echo from the airframe,
but the blip now shows up on all consoles for that sector, not just the
original one that was handling the altitude range of the flight. If that
same flight loses communication with the controllers as well, the controller
workload takes another giant step upward. Keep in mind that this is in
an area that is normally stretched to the breaking point with controller
overload. This flight is now a hazard to air navigation, and the controllers
primary function of separating the planes is in jeopardy.

The
procedure for lost communication emergencies is simple: follow your last
clearance. If the flight under discussion follows its last clearance,
the controllers can predict where it will go and can still keep other
flights out of harms way. If in addition to losing communication and transponder
the flight starts to deviate from its last clearance, the whole system
is in an emergency condition. Alarms all over the country would be going
off. One interesting piece of information is the recording of controller
and pilot conversations. These tapes are a matter of public record and
are written over after a few days unless something interesting happens.
These tapes would show the response of the system. Why did the FBI confiscate
all of these tapes between the controllers and these four flights?

The
air traffic control system would be in panic mode within two to three
minutes of the initial events. We know that Otis Air Force Base is only
about seven minutes from Manhattan by F-15. Also, there is an Air Defense
Intercept Zone just off shore for the entire Atlantic Coast. This zone
is constantly being patrolled. In general fast movers would not need to
be scrambled. They can be diverted from routine patrol and training flights
for the intercept.

The
odds are that many flights would be on patrol just off shore. It would
be most improbable that even one commercial flight could go more than
ten minutes without being intercepted. The intercepting plane would slowly
close from the left and take station slightly above and ahead of the errant
heavy. At this point he would rock his wings and expect the other plane
to do the same as a form of non-verbal communication. After this he would
perform a gentle turn to the left and the intercepted plane is required
to follow. If this does not occur, there are many actions short of firing
the fighter can take to prevent the commercial jet from harming either
itself, any other plane, or any ground structure.

15)8:20
a.m.: American Airlines Flight 77 a Boeing 757-223 with a maximum capacity
of 200 passengers and 11,489 gallons of fuel, lifts off from Dulles International
Airport about 30 miles west of Washington D.C. and the Pentagon, bound
for Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California. Take-off
was scheduled for 8:01. There are supposed to be 64 victims on board,
yet when you add up the official death manifest list that was published
on CNN.com, there are only 56 victims.

16)
8:21 a.m.: Betty Ong, a flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11,
calls Vanessa Minter at American Airlines reservations from the seatback
phone. "She said two flight attendants had been stabbed, one was on oxygen,"
said the manager on duty. "A passenger had his throat slashed and looked
dead and they had gotten into the cockpit." She identifies the seats of
the hijackers and confirms that the plane is descending.

17)
8:22 a.m.: Amy Sweeney another flight attendant on American Airlines Flight
11, calls American Airlines ground manager Michael Woodward and speaks
calmly to him until the plane crashes.

18)
8:24:38 a.m.: The pilot of American Airlines Flight 11, John Ogonowski,
or one of the hijackers activates the talk-back button, enabling Boston
air traffic controllers to hear a hijacker say to the passengers: "We
have some planes. Just stay quiet and you will be OK. We are returning
to the airport. Nobody move." Apparently, one of the hijackers confused
the aircraft's radio with its public-address system. Air traffic control
responds, "Who's trying to call me?"

19)
8:24:57 a.m. from American Airlines Flight 11, "Everything will be OK.
If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane.
Just stay quiet."

20)
8:25 a.m.: Boston air traffic control notified several air traffic control
centers that a hijack is in progress with American Airlines Flight 11.
Boston air traffic control first lost communication with American Airlines
Flight 11 more than 11 minutes ago. What took them so long to start to
implement procedure? Why didn�t they also notify North American Aerospace
Defense Command (NORAD) at this time?

If
they did follow procedure and notify NORAD at 8:25 and NORAD followed
protocol and ordered the 102nd Fighter Wing of the Otis Air National Guard
Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts to scramble at say 8:26 � two F-15�s would
have been airborne by no later than 8:32 � these F-15�s would have had
at least 14 minutes and 26 seconds to reach the WTC before American Airlines
Flight 11 impacts the north side of the North Tower (1 World Trade Center)
at 8:46:26. If these two F-15�s were flying at top speed, 14 minutes and
26 seconds is exactly twice the amount of time need to reach the WTC.
These two F-15�s could have been at the WTC in just over 7 minutes, or
as early as 8:39. Even a spokesperson for Otis said that their F-15�s
could reach the WTC in 10 to 12 minutes, which would have them there at
8:42 to 8:44.

These
two F-15�s could have easily intercepted American Airlines Flight 11.
If only Boston air traffic control, which notified several air traffic
control centers that a hijack is in progress with American Airlines Flight
11 at 8:25, had also notified NORAD. Why didn�t they? Or did they follow
procedure, and notify NORAD, and NORAD is lying about it. Let me state
that it is NORAD�s job to know every inch of the skies over North America,
so they must have known that American Airlines Flight 11 was hijacked
somewhere between 8:14 and 8:20.

21)
8:26 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 11 is heading westnorthwest, its location
is between Albany and Lake George, New York, when it suddenly makes a
100 degree turn to the south and starts heading directly toward New York
City. American Airlines Flight 11 finds the Hudson River and follows it
all the way south till it impacts the north side of the North Tower of
the WTC.

Almost
40 miles north of the WTC on the Hudson River is by far the number one
terrorist target in the United States, Indian Point and its 3 nuclear
power stations, 2 of which are online. These 3 nuclear stations have accumulated
65 years worth of stockpiled highly radioactive waste. Indian Point is
only 24 miles north of the New York City border. It is surrounded by the
densest concentration of population in the United States, the northeast
corridor. Why did American Airlines Flight 11 fly directly over the number
one terrorist target in the United States, Indian Point nuclear power
stations, and not hit it? (See 8:39 a.m. # 28)

23)
8:33:59 a.m.: Another transmission from American Airlines Flight 11, "Nobody
move please. We are going back to the airport. Don't try to make any stupid
moves."

24)
8:36 a.m.: Flight attendant Betty Ong on American Airlines Flight 11 reports
that the plane tilts all the way on one side and then becomes horizontal
again. Flight attendant Amy Sweeney also reports on her phone that the
plane has begun a rapid descent.

25)
8:36 a.m.: A NORAD spokesman, Major Mike Snyder, has been reported to
have said, that the FAA notified NORAD of a hijacked aircraft, American
Airlines Flight 11, about 10 minutes before it impacted into the World
Trade Center.

26)
8:37 a.m.: Flight controllers ask the United Airlines Flight 175 pilots
to look for the lost American Airlines Flight 11, about 10 miles to the
south. They respond that they can see it. They are told to keep away from
it. This incident is not included in The New York Times flight controller
transcript. Why?

28)
8:39 a.m. American Airlines Flight 11 flies directly over the number one
terrorist target in the United States, Indian Point nuclear power stations.
Indian Point has 3 nuclear power stations (1 is offline and the other
2 have been online since 1973 and 1976), which are only 24 miles north
of New York City.

If
American Airlines Flight 11 hits Indian Point correctly in any of three
different ways, they could have caused a meltdown and a release of vast
amounts of radiation. There are also a cumulative 65 operating years worth
of highly radioactive waste stored at Indian Point. Casualities could
possibly be upwards of 20 million people prematurely dieing from radiation
poisoning. The whole northeast corridor from New York City to Boston would
instantly become a wasteland for thousands of years.

Why
did American Airlines Flight 11 jeopardize their mission by flying another
7 plus minutes (when they could and should have been intercepted by the
USAF) down the Hudson River to hit the WTC between the 94th
and 98th floors where they ended up "only" killing less than
3,000 people when they could have hit their enemies� number one target?

The
mastermind behind these "terrorists" hijackers would have soon figured
out their best and only shot against the strongest military foe in the
world would have been to hit them first and hit them as hard as you can.
Why didn't they hit Indian Point?

If
the terrorists were targeting the WTC, don't you think they would have
waited until around 11:00 when these buildings were full with 50,000 plus
people? And of course, to cause the most deaths and destruction isn't
it elementary to strike these buildings as low as possible, which would
have been around the 25th to 30th floors?

So,
why did this well planned "terrorist" attack kill only 3,000 people when
they could have easily killed ten times that many? This reasoning also
goes along with the Pentagon attack. Why was the Pentagon hit on the so-called
"peaceful" west side which was mostly under construction as opposed to
the command center east side of the Pentagon?

If
one plane didn't do the job at Indian Point, two planes most definitely
would have done the job. United Airlines Flight 175 flew very close to
Indian Point; it was literally within a couple of minutes flying time.

29)
8:40
a.m. Nasty and Duff are the code names of the two F-15 pilots from the
102nd Fighter Wing of the Otis Air National Guard Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts
who would scramble after United Airlines Flight 175. Nasty says that at
this time, a colleague tells him that a flight out of Boston has been
hijacked, and to be on alert. They put on their flight gear and get ready.

30)
8:40 a.m.: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notifies NORAD that
American Airlines Flight 11 has been hijacked. Even NORAD officially admitted
that the FAA told them about the hijacking of American Airlines Flight
11 at 8:40.
NORAD Press Release: http://StandDown.net/NORADSeptember182001PressRelease.htm

31)
8:41:32 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 175 last communication with the New
York air traffic control: We figured we'd wait to go to your center. We
heard a suspicious transmission on our departure from BOS [Boston] sounds
like someone keyed the mike and said everyone stay in your seats.

32)8:42
a.m.: United Airlines Flight 93 a Boeing 757-222 with a maximum capacity
of 200 passengers and 11,489 gallons of fuel, lifts off from Newark International
Airport in Newark, New Jersey bound for San Francisco International Airport,
San Francisco, California. Take-off was scheduled for 8:01. There are
supposed to be 44 victims on board, yet when you add up the official death
manifest list that was published on CNN.com, there are only 33 victims.

33)
8:42 a.m.: An air traffic controller says of United Airlines Flight 175,
looks like he's heading southbound but there's no transponder no nothing
and no one's talking to him.

34)
8:43 a.m.: The FAA notifies NORAD that United Airlines Flight 175 has
been hijacked. NORAD has officially admitted that the FAA told them about
the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 175 at 8:43.

35)
8:44 a.m.: Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, talking about terrorism at the
Pentagon says, "Let me tell you, I�ve been around the block a few times.
There will be another event."He then repeats it for emphasis, there will
be another event."

36)
8:46 a.m.: NORAD orders the 102nd Fighter Wing of the Otis Air National
Guard Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts to scramble two of their F-15 fighters.
This is from the 102nd Fighter Wing's mission statement of September 11,
2001. "Our aircraft and their crews are on continuous 24-hour, 365-day
alert to guard our skies. The 102nd Fighter Wing's area of responsibility
includes over 500,000 square miles, 90 million people, and the major industrial
centers of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C."

NORAD,
by their own account, held on to this most vital information of these
two hijacking for at least 6 minutes before ordering Otis to scramble.
NORAD may have held on to the vital information of American Airlines Flight
11 for perhaps 8 minutes, maybe 10 minutes (see 8:36 a.m. # 25 statement
by NORAD spokesman, Major Mike Snyder), possibly up to 26 minutes (see
8:20 a.m. # 14 American Airlines Flight 11 transponder signal stopped
transmitting its IFF beacon signal) and let us not forget that the last
transmission of American Airlines Flight 11 with Boston air traffic control
occurred at 8:13:31, so maybe NORAD had over 32 minutes before they notified
Otis to scramble their two F-15�s.

How
could NORAD possibly hold on to the 8:40 information of the American Airlines
Flight 11 hijacking, and not immediately scrambled Otis? How could NORAD
possibly hold on to the 8:43 information of the United Airlines Flight
175 hijacking, and not have immediately scrambled Otis? How could NORAD,
by their own account, hold on to the most vital information of both of
these hijackings for three and six full minutes before notifying Otis
to scramble?

37)
8:46:26 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 11 impacts the north side of the
North Tower (1 World Trade Center) of the WTC between the 94th and 98th
floors. American Airlines Flight 11 was flying at a speed of 490 miles
per hour (MPH).

When
American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower, "it set up vibrations
which were transmitted through the building, through its foundation, and
into the ground," says Lerner-Lam. Those vibrations, as indicated by seismographs
at Lamont-Doherty and other locations, were the equivalent of a magnitude
0.9 earthquake, one too small to be felt.

People
in the floors below the 94th of 1 WTC start to evacuate. Officials
in the South Tower (2 WTC) tell people shortly afterwards by megaphone
and office announcements that they are safe and to stay in their offices.
Some people don't hear it, others ignore it and evacuate anyway.

Between
8:47 and 10:29 a.m. many people trapped by fire and smoke in the upper
floors of both World Trade Center towers, jump to their deaths. One person
at street level, a NYC Firefighter is hit by such a jumper and also is
killed.

40)
8:47 a.m.: NYC Fire Battalion Chief Joe Pfeiffer from the 7th Battalion
puts out an emergency call stating that American Airlines Flight 11 impacting
the north side of the North Tower (1 World Trade Center) was no accident.
The plane's impact was clearly a deliberate attack an intentional act
of mass death and devastation.

As
the small video crew (who shot the only video of American Airlines Flight
11 impacting the WTC � the fireman video) and firemen that had eye-witnessed
the first plane hit the WTC were racing to the location, Chief Pfeiffer
sounded red alerts over the radio and phone; specifically stating that
what they witnessed was a "direct attack" and that the airliner was clearly
being directed straight at the WTC and the incident was definitely not
any kind of accident.

41)
8:48 a.m.: The first news reports appear on TV and radio that a plane
may have crashed into the WTC.

43)
8:50 a.m.: Rich Miles, a manager of United Airlines Chicago system operations
center, receives a call from a mechanic at an airline maintenance center
in San Francisco that takes in-flight calls from flight attendants about
broken items. The mechanic says a female flight attendant from United
Airlines Flight 175 just called and said, "Oh my God. The crew has been
killed; a flight attendant has been stabbed. We've been hijacked." Then
the line went dead.

44)8:50:51
a.m.: American Airlines Flight 77 last radio communication, about 285
miles west of the Pentagon.

45)
8:51 a.m.: Bush arrives at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota,
Florida for a photo op with 16 second graders. He is there to promote
his administration's new bill on education.

46)
8:52 a.m.: Two F-15 Eagles have scrambled and are airborne from the 102nd
Fighter Wing of Otis Air National Guard Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
An F-15 has a top speed of 1875+ MPH. According
to NORAD,Otis
is 153 miles eastnortheast of the WTC.

47)
8:53 a.m.: A
flight controller says to other airplanes in the sky about United Airlines
Flight 175, "We may have a hijack. We have some problems over here right
now."

48)8:55
a.m.: Barbara Olson, a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77, "allegedly
called" her husband, Solicitor General Theodore Olson at the Justice
Department. He is watching the WTC news on TV. She tells him, ''they had
box cutters and knives. They rounded up the passengers at the back of
the plane.'' She asks him, "What should I tell the pilot to do?"
She gets cuts off; he calls the Justice Department's command center to
alert them of the hijacking. She calls back and says the plane is turning
around. She appears to have been the only person on American Airlines
Flight 77 to call someone on the ground. Why is she the only person who
"allegedly called" from American Airlines Flight 77?"

51)
8:57 a.m. The FAA formally notified the military that American Airlines
Flight 11 crashed into the WTC. Until then, the two F-15�s fighters from
Otis did not know the plane had crashed -- Yet at 8:47 a.m. NORAD had
been notified. Why does it take over 10 minutes to inform the two F-15�s
of this, especially when United Airlines Flight 175 is headed directly
for New York City?

54)
9:00 a.m.: Last radar reading on United Airlines Flight 175 is observed
at an altitude of 18,000 feet, descending, with a ground speed of 480
knots.

55)
9:00 a.m. The FAA starts contacting all airliners to warn them of the
hijacking.

56)
9:00 a.m.: The Pentagon moves its alert status up one notch from normal
to Alpha. It stays on Alpha until after American Airlines Flight 77 hits
the Pentagon.

57)
9:01 a.m.: Bush later makes the following statement. "And I was sitting
outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the
tower -- the TV was obviously on, and I used to fly myself, and I said,
'There's one terrible pilot.' And I said, 'It must have been a horrible
accident.' But I was whisked off from there -- I didn't have much time
to think about it." Bush could not have possibly seen the first plane
(American Airlines Flight 11) hit the WTC, because the only video showing
this was not shown on television till later in the day. So how could he
have possibly seen and said this?

58)
9:02:54 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 175 impacts the south side of the
South Tower of the WTC between the 78th and 84th
floors at a speed of over 500 MPH. Parts of the plane including an engine
leave the building from its north side, to be found on the ground up to
six blocks away.

When
United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower, "it set up vibrations
which were transmitted through the building, through its foundation, and
into the ground," says Lerner-Lam. Those vibrations, as indicated by seismographs
at Lamont-Doherty and other locations, were the equivalent of a magnitude
0.7 earthquake.

NORAD
says that when United Airlines Flight 175 impacts the WTC at 9:02:54,
the F-15's from Otis are still 71 miles away. This means their average
flight speed was only 23.9% of their top speed in trying to intercept
United Airlines Flight 175.

Otis
is 153 miles from WTC. F-15's have a top speed of 1875+ MPH. Minus 71
miles left from 153 miles equals 82 miles covered in the 11 minutes from
8:52 take-off to 9:03. 60 minutes divided by 11 minutes equals 5.45, times
this by the 82 miles covered, equals 447.3 MPH. divided by 1875 MPH equals
23.9% of their top speed. How could these two F-15�s possibly be going
less than one quarter of their top speed in trying to intercept United
Airlines Flight 175?

The
following passages are from a BBC article published on August 30, 2002.
Two of the pilots patrolling northeast America told the programme how
they struggled to get to New York as fast as possible after the first
plane had hit the World Trade Center. Pilots "Duff" and "Nasty" recalled
they were only minutes away when the second plane hit the towers. Pilot
Duff said: "For a long time I wondered what would have happened if we
had been scrambled in time. "We've been over the flight a thousand times
in our minds and I don't know what we could have done to get there any
quicker." Perhaps if they flew a little faster than 23.9% of their top
speed is how.

Now
the only airliner left in the sky with its IFF transponder signal off
which has just made a 180 degree turn over southern Ohio / northeastern
Kentucky and has been heading directly back to Washington D.C. and The
Pentagon since 8:59 a.m. -- is American Airlines Flight 77. Why didn�t
these two F-15�s that were 71 miles from NYC and the WTC, immediately
redirect to intercept the only dangerous airliner in the sky, American
Airlines Flight 77?

These
two F-15�s had 34 minutes to reach Washington D.C. before American Airlines
Flight 77 hits the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. The mission of these two F-15�s
from the 102nd Fighter Wing of the Otis Air National Guard Base is to
protect the skies from Washington D.C. to the north. The F-15 has a top
speed of 1875+ MPH, so they could have closed the 300 or so miles from
their current position to Washington D.C. in just about 10 minutes. At
top speed they could have been at the Pentagon 24 minutes before American
Airlines Flight 77 hits it.

Even
if they were flying at the same speed NORAD says that they covered in
the last 71 miles till they reach the WTC (532.5 MPH or only 28.4% of
top speed) they would have beat American Airlines Flight 77 to the Pentagon.
Why didn�t these two F-15�s directly fly to intercept the only known airliner
still in the sky that is hijacked, and heading directly for the nations
capitol?

Still,
much worse, why didn�t these two F-15�s upon reaching the WTC at 9:11
and now knowing that American Airlines Flight 77 has been heading dead
on for Washington D.C. for 12 minutes, finally try to intercept? The WTC
is about 250 miles from the Pentagon. They still have 26 minutes to intercept
American Airlines Flight 77 before the Pentagon gets hit at 9:37. All
they have to do is to fly only 576.9 MPH or 30.8% of their top speed to
beat American Airlines Flight 77 to the Pentagon. What do we pay these
guys to do?

Still,
unbelievably worse, these two F-15�s could have waited in New York City
till 9:26 before heading down to protect Washington D.C. and the Pentagon.
By 9:26 American Airlines Flight 77 has now been heading directly back
to Washington D.C. for 27 minutes. American Airlines Flight 77 is the
only airliner in the sky with its transponder signal off, and off course.
If these F-15�s were flying at top speed, they could be at the Pentagon
in under 10 minutes. They can leave New York City at 9:26 and still beat
American Airlines Flight 77 to the Pentagon by one minute. Why didn�t
these two F-15�s leave at any time between 9:03 and 9:26 to intercept
American Airlines Flight 77, the only airliner in the sky with its transponder
signal off, and also off course? Why, NORAD?

There
is a very important video of what looks very much like an F-15 streaking
by the WTC just as United Airlines Flight 175 impacts the South Tower
of the WTC. Why isn�t anyone talking about this video?

59)
9:03 a.m.: Boston air traffic control center halts traffic from its airports
to all New York area airspace.

60)
9:05 a.m.: Andrew Card walks up to Bush while he is listening to a Goat
Story with 16 second graders in Sandra Kay Daniels�s class at Emma E.
Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. Card whispers in his ear
"A second plane has hit the World Trade Center. America is under attack."
Bush (commander-and-chief?) keeps listening to this Goat Story with these
children for at least 7 minutes, and perhaps as long as 18 minutes. Why
didn't he excuse himself from these children right away, and immediately
address this national emergency, is totally unexplainable.

There
is no way this should have happened. What of course should have happened,
was as soon as the secret service found out about United Airlines Flight
175 impacting the WTC (now knowing it was a "terrorist" act),
they would have immediatly grabbed Bush and brought him to an undisclosed
location. There is no way the secret service leaves Bush in a place (Emma
E. Booker Elementary School) where everyone knows he is. Stand Down.

61)
9:05
a.m.: West Virginia flight control notices a new eastbound plane entering
their radar with no radio contact and no transponder identification. They
are not sure it is American Airlines Flight 77. Supposedly they wait another
19 minutes before notifying NORAD about it.

62)
9:06 a.m.: Order to halt traffic is expanded to include the entire northeast
from Washington to Cleveland. FAA's air traffic control center outside
Washington D.C. notifies all air traffic facilities nationwide of the
suspected hijacking of American Airlines Flight 11.

63)
9:06 a.m.: The FAA formally notified the military that United Airlines
Flight 175 had been hijacked.

64)
9:08 a.m.: FAA orders all aircraft to leave New York area airspace and
orders all New York-bound planes nationwide to stay on the ground.

65)9:10
a.m. to 9:20 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 93 was hijacked.

66)
9:11 a.m.: The two F-15 Eagles from Otis Air National Guard station in
Falmouth; Massachusetts finally make it to NYC and the WTC. So it takes
these two F-15�s, which have a top speed of 1875+ MPH, 19 minutes to cover
the 153 miles from Otis to the WTC. This means their average flight speed
from Otis to the WTC was only 483.2 MPH or just 25.8% of their top speed.

67)
9:12 a.m.: The FAA formally notified the military that United Airlines
Flight 175 had crashed into the WTC.

68)
9:15 a.m.: American Airlines orders no new takeoffs in the United States.

69)9:16
a.m. to 9:20: The FAA notifies NORAD that United Airlines Flight 93 has
been hijacked. (Reported as 9:20 a.m. in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
No fighters are scrambled in specific response, now or later. There is
the possibility the fighters sent after American Airlines Flight 77 later
headed towards United Airlines Flight 93. NORAD's own timeline inexplicably
fails to say when the FAA told them about the hijack, the only flight
they fail to provide this data for.

70)
9:17 a.m.: The FAA shuts down all New York City area airports.

71)
9:20 a.m.: United Airlines orders no new takeoffs in the United States.

72)
9:21 a.m.: New York City Port Authority orders all bridges and tunnels
in the New York City area closed.

73)
9:23 a.m.: Bush talks privately with Cheney, his National Security Adviser
Condoleezza Rice, the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller and Governor George
Pataki of New York. Why does Bush wait from 9:05 (when Andrew Card tells
him of United Airlines Flight 175 hitting the WTC) till 9:23 to finally
call? He still does not give the authority to the fighters to shoot down
any hostile airliners. What is he waiting for?

74)9:24
a.m.: The FAA notifies NORAD that American Airlines Flight 77 has been
hijacked. The FAA lost contact with American Airlines Flight 77 when the
transponder signal stops at 8:55 a.m. -- Why does it take 29 minutes for
the FAA to tell NORAD that American Airlines Flight 77 has been hijacked?

75) 9:24 a.m.: NORAD
orders the 1st Fighter Wing from Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia
to scramble two, possibly three F-16 fighters. This time NORAD does not
sit on this vital information for six minutes before notifying Langley AFB.
Langley is 130 miles south of Washington D.C. and the Pentagon. The F-16
has a top speed of 1500 MPH.

Why
wasn�t Langley AFB scrambled at 8:20 or 8:40 or 8:46 or at the very least
at 9:02:54? How could NORAD possibly have waited the 21 minutes from the
time United Airlines Flight 175 hits the South Tower of the WTC at 9:02:54
before finally scrambling Langley at 9:24? Waiting these 21 extra minutes
to finally scramble Langley is the real smoking gun that no one can get
around.

76)
9:25 a.m.: Air traffic controllers inform the US Secret Service as American
Airlines Flight 77 approaches Washington D.C.

77)
9:26 a.m.: The FAA halts takeoffs nationwide. All airborne international
flights are told to land in Canada.

78)9:26
a.m.: American Airlines Flight 77 - Passenger, Barbara K. Olson again
calls her husband, Solicitor General Theodore Olson at the Justice Department
to tell him about the hijacking and to report that the passengers and
pilots were held in the back of the plane. Again she is the only person
who makes a call from American Airlines Flight 77. Isn�t it very strange
that is she the only person to call, not once but twice?

79)9:28
a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 -- An open microphone aboard reveals someone
in the cockpit saying, "Get out of here!"

80)9:28
a.m.: United Airlines Flight 93, "there are the first audible signs of
problems, in background cockpit noise." Air traffic controllers hear the
sound of screaming and scuffling over an open mike. They then hear hijackers
speaking in Arabic to each other. Yet this is at least 8 minutes and probably
at least 12 minutes after the hijackers had taken over the cockpit and
done something to cause the FAA to notify NORAD of United Airlines Flight
93's hijacking.

81)9:29
a.m.: United Airlines Flight 93 - Jeremy Glick, a passenger, calls his
wife and describes the hijackers and is informed about the attacks in
New York City.

82)
9:30 a.m.: Two maybe three F-16 Fighting Falcons code-named Huntress take
off from Langley AFB headed at first toward at NYC. A couple of minutes
into their mission, according to General Haugen "A person came on the
radio and identified themselves as being with the Secret Service"
and said, "I want you to protect the White House at all costs."
The F-16�s laid in a new course and vectored to Washington D.C.

Why were these fighters headed to NYC when American Airlines Flight 77
has been headed directly for Washington D.C. for the last 31 minutes,
and with their communication and transponder turned off for 34 minutes?
There are no airliners headed for NYC or anywhere else with their communication
and transponders turned off. Also, at 9:25 air traffic controllers have
already informed the US Secret Service in Washington D.C. that American
Airlines Flight 77 is approaching them very fast. So why are these F-16�s
first flying toward NYC?

83)
9:30 a m.: Bush, speaking to the nation from Emma E. Booker Elementary
School in Sarasota, Florida, says the country has suffered an "apparent
terrorist attack" and "a national tragedy." He would chase
down, "those folks who committed this act." Bush also said,
"Terrorism against our nation will not stand." It was an echo
of "This will not stand," the words his father, George H. W.
Bush, had used a few days after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990-in
Bush's opinion, one of his father's finest moments.

Also, during this address to the country Bush promised a full investigation
into the attack. Well here we are one year later and there is still no
investigation. Matter of fact he has done everything in his power so there
will not be any investigation into 911. Why?

This address to the
country should have been said at least 15 to 20 minutes earlier. But of
course he had much more important business to attend to, he was listening
to the Goat Story with the 16 second graders from 9:05 till at least 9:12
and possibly as long as 9:23. Watch the video of Bush addressing the country
from Emma E. Booker Elementary School.

84)
9:30 a.m.: The Secretary of State Colin Powell in Lima, Peru abruptly
ended his breakfast with the Peruvian president after getting word of
the second strike on the trade center and made plans to return to Washington.
"Get the plane," he told an assistant. "Go tell them we're leaving." He
had a seven-hour flight, with poor phone connections, ahead of him.

85)
9:30 a.m.: United Airlines begins landing all of its flights inside the
United States.

86)
9:32 a.m.: Secret Service agents burst into Cheney's White House office.
They carry him under his arms -- nearly lifting him off the ground --
and take him to the security of the underground bunker in the White House
basement.

87)
9:32 a.m.: The New York Stock Exchange closed.

88)9:33
a.m.: According to The New York Times, American Airlines Flight 77 was
lost at 8:56 when it turned off its transponder, and stayed lost until
now. Washington air traffic control sees a fast moving blip on their radar
at this time and sends a warning to Dulles Airport in Washington. Is it
conceivable that an airplane could be lost inside United States air space
for 37 minutes? One doesn't need a transponder signal to get a radar signal.
If this is true, why did the FAA warn that the plane was headed towards
Washington at 9:25?

89)9:35
a.m.: United Airlines Flight 93 goes off course near Cleveland, Ohio where
it makes a 135 degree turn, and is now headed to the southeast. United
Airlines Flight 93 is 375 miles from Newark, New Jersey and 280 miles
from where it was now headed, Washington D.C.

Also reported about United Airlines Flight 93: ABC News has learned that
shortly before the plane changed directions, someone in the cockpit radioed
in and asked the FAA for a new flight plan, with a final destination of
Washington. This should have been a big red flag, a problem aircraft usually
diverts to the nearest field. Did the Pilot do this to signal Air Traffic
Control?

90)
9:35 a.m.: American Airlines begins landing all of its flights inside
the United States.

91)9:36
a.m.: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport instructs a military C130
aircraft that had just departed Andrews Air Force base to try to identify
American Airlines Flight 77. The C130 reports it is a 767 and it is moving
low and very fast.

92)9:37
a.m.: American Airlines Flight 77 is lost from radar screens and impacts
the western side of the Pentagon. The section of the Pentagon hit consists
mainly of newly renovated, unoccupied offices. The Pentagon says American
Airlines Flight 77 hits them at 9:37. Other published reports have American
Airlines Flight 77 striking at 9:40 to 9:43; The New York Times even published
9:45 (see 9:24 a.m. # 75).

NORAD
says the F-16�s from Langley were still 105 miles and 12 minutes away.
This means their average flight speed was only 14.3% of their top speed
in trying to intercept United Airlines Flight 175. If these F-16�s flew
at top speed, they would have been there just after 9:37.

Langley
is 130 miles from the Pentagon. F-16's have a top speed of 1500 MPH. Minus
105 miles left from 130 miles equals 25 miles covered in the 7 minutes
from 9:30 take-off to 9:37. 60 minutes divided by 7 minutes equals 8.57,
times this by the 25 miles covered, equals 214.3 MPH. divided by 1500
MPH equals 14.3% of their top speed. How could these two F-15�s possibly
be going one seventh of their top speed in trying to intercept American
Airlines Flight 77? Even the story about first flying to NYC does not
account for this unbelievably slow speed because they got the message
to redirect to Washington D.C. within a couple of minutes of take-off,
and NYC and Washington D.C. are almost exactly the same direction (north)
from Langley.

95)
9:40 a.m.: Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta, summoned by the
White House to the bunker, was on an open line to the Federal Aviation
Administration operations center, monitoring Flight 77 as it hurtled toward
Washington, with radar tracks coming every seven seconds. Reports came
that the plane was 50 miles out, 30 miles out, 10 miles out-until word
reached the bunker that there had been an explosion at the Pentagon.

Mineta
shouted into the phone to Monte Belger at the FAA: "Monte, bring all the
planes down." It was an unprecedented order -- there were 4,546 airplanes
in the air at the time. Belger, the FAA's acting deputy administrator,
amended Mineta's directive to take into account the authority vested in
airline pilots. "We're bringing them down per pilot discretion," Belger
told the secretary.

The
FAA stops all flight operations at U.S. airports and orders all planes
in the air to land at the nearest airport. No civilian aircraft are allowed
to lift off. This is the first time all commercial flights in the U.S.
have been suspended. Only military and medical flights are allowed to
fly.

96)9:42
a.m.: United Airlines Flight 93 passenger Mark Bingham calls his mother.
"Mom, this is Mark Bingham," he said, nervously. "I want to let you know
that I love you. I'm calling from the plane. We've been taken over. There
are three men that say they have a bomb."

97)
9:45 a.m.: Bush's motorcade leaves the Emma E. Booker Elementary School
in Sarasota, Florida headed for Air Force One at the Sarasota-Bradenton
International Airport.

98)
9:45 a.m. to 9:48 a.m.: The Capitol and the White House are evacuated.

99)9:45
a.m. to 9:58 a.m.: United Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer tries to call
his family but gets patched through to a Verizon supervisor. He said that
the pilot and copilot were apparently dead, 2 hijackers were in the cockpit,
one was guarding first class and another was guarding 27 passengers at
the rear of the plane. He said that they have voted to storm the hijackers
and the supervisor hears before he hangs up "Are you guys ready? Let's
roll."

100)9:45
a.m.: Tom Burnett calls his wife Deena for the third time. She tells him
about the crash into the Pentagon. Tom speaks about the bomb he'd mentioned
earlier, saying, "I don't think they have one, I think they're just telling
us that."

101)
9:47 a.m.: Commanders worldwide were ordered to raise their threat alert
status four notches to "Delta", the highest level, to defend United States
facilities. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld raised the defense condition
signaling of the United States offensive readiness-to DefCon 3, the highest
it had been since the Arab-Israeli war in 1973. U.S. officials also sent
a message to the Russians, who were planning a military exercise not far
from Alaska, urging them to rethink their plans.

102)
9:49 a.m.: The F-16�s from Langley AFB finally arrive over Washington,
D.C. to perform Combat Air Patrol over the city. It takes these F-16�s
19 minutes to reach Washington D.C. from Langley AFB which is about 130
miles to the south.

If
these F-16�s were flying at top speed it should have taken them just over
7 minutes to reach the Pentagon. They should have been there at about
the same time the Pentagon is hit by American Airlines Flight 77, at 9:37.

By
arriving in Washington D.C. at 9:49, that would mean these F-16�s average
flight speed was only 410.5 MPH. This means their average flight speed
was only 27.4% of their top speed in trying to protect our nations capital.
Langley AFB is 130 miles from the Pentagonand F-16's
have a top speed of 1500 MPH. 60 minutes divided by 19 minutes = 3.16
x 130 miles = 410.5 MPH divided by 1500 MPH = 27.4%.

These
F-16�s took-off at 9:30, this is 43 minutes after American Airlines 11
impacts the North Tower of the WTC and 27 minutes after United Airlines
Flight 175 slams into the South Tower of the WTC. Knowing this, these
F-16�s fly at only 27.4% of their top speed in trying to intercept American
Airlines Flight 77 and protect our nations capital, Washington D.C. How
could that possibly be?
Why were all of these ultra-sophisticated fighter jets averaging flight
speeds only one quarter of their top speed when sent to intercept hostile
aircraft and protect New York City and our nation's Capital, Washington
D.C.? What exactly is the purpose of these fighter jets being able to
go 1875+ MPH and 1500 MPH, yet when the United States is being attacked
and needs them the most they are only somehow capable of doing one quarter
of their top speed?

The
United States Air Force is the most technologically advanced, and the
most dominate military force ever known to man, and yet we didn�t have
any other fighters on routine patrols or training missions anywhere within
1000 miles of New York City or Washington D. C. that morning? I have talked
to a few people in the Air Force, and this totally impossible. There are
always fighters up on routine patrols or training missions. So where were
they?

And
lastly, why didn't the Air Force follow procedure and immediately scramble
a recon aircraft or two to monitor any of these 4 flights like they did
for the late great golfer Payne Stewart when his Lear jet went off course?
This is not Oshkosh, Wisconsin we are talking about protecting here, it
is New York City and the Capital of the United States, Washington D.C.,
and its air defenses were left total unguarded for almost an hour and
a half by the same country who have the greatest air superiority by far
ever known. What type of a preposterous wag of the NORAD tale is this?

Both
of these groups of fighters, the F-15�s out of Otis, and the F-16�s out
of Langley were put in the air merely as window dressing. To make the
public actually think they were valiantly trying to intercept these 4
hijacked planes. There is only one explanation for this -- our Air Force
was ordered to stand down on 911.

104)
9:55 a.m.: Bush arrives at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport
and boards Air Force One.

105)
9:55 a.m.: Inside his White House bunker, a military aide asks Cheney,
"There is a plane 80 miles out. There is a fighter in the area. Should
we engage?" Cheney immediately says, "Yes." As the fighter gets nearer
to United Airlines Flight 93, he is asked the same thing twice more, and
responds yes both times.

106)9:58
a.m.: Confrontation with the hijackers and the passengers begins aboard
United Airlines Flight 93. Emergency dispatcher in Pennsylvania receives
a call from a passenger on Flight 93. The passenger says: "We are being
hijacked!"

107)9:58
a.m.: A frantic male passenger onboard United Airlines Flight 93 called
the 911 emergency number, he told the operator, named Glen Cramer, that
he had locked himself inside one of the toilets. Cramer told the AP, in
a report that was widely broadcast on September 11th, that the passenger
had spoken for one minute. "We're being hijacked, we're being hijacked!"
the man screamed into his mobile phone. "We confirmed that with him several
times," Cramer said, "and we asked him to repeat what he said. He was
very distraught. He said he believed the plane was going down. He did
hear some sort of an explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane,
but he didn't know where. And then we lost contact with him." This was
the last cell phone call made from any passengers on any of the hijacked
planes.

108)
9:59 a.m.: Air Force One Departs Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport,
Sarasota, Florida bound for Washington D.C. Air Force One departed with
no extra military protection, even though 2 of the 7 military air stations
we had on full alert to protect the continental United States that day
were based in Florida. Homestead Air Station in Homestead is 185 miles
and the Tyndall Air Station in Panama City is 235 miles from Sarasota.

These
two air stations should have been ordered to scramble their fighters at
8:20 or 8:40 or 8:43 or 8:46:26 or 9:02:54 or at the very least, at 9:24.
Flying at top speed, both of these air stations fighters could have been
in Sarasota in about 20 minutes to protect Air Force One. Where were the
fighters from both of these air stations? Did both of these air stations
have something better to do that day than protect Air Force One? Please,
this just does not happen.

Also,
is the place to be in the air when there are still hundreds of airliners
in the air, and who knew then how many of them were hostile or not?

Also,
please take a look at the August 30, 2002 BBC article which states: In
the immediate aftermath of the terror attacks US fighter planes took to
the skies to defend America from any further attacks. Their mission was
to protect pResident George W. Bush and to intercept any hijacked aircraft
heading to other targets in the US. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2222205.stm

109)
9:59:04 a.m.: The south tower of the World Trade Center suddenly collapses,
plummeting into the streets below. A massive cloud of dust and debris
quickly fills lower Manhattan. It is later explained (disinformation)
that the collapse was not directly caused by the impact, but the intense
heat caused by the fire fueled by the jet's fuel weakening the steel support
beams of the concrete floors. The WTC towers were built to withstand a
707 being flown into them. A 767 carries almost the same amount of fuel
as a 707.

Seismographs
at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades,
New York, 21 miles north of the WTC, recorded very interesting seismic
activity on September 11, 2001 that has still not been explained.

While
the aircraft crashes caused minimal earth shaking, significant earthquakes
with unusual spikes occurred at the beginning of each collapse. The Palisades
seismic data recorded a 2.1 magnitude earthquake during the 10-second
collapse of the South Tower at 9:59:04 and a 2.3 quake during the 9-second
collapse of the North Tower at 10:28:31.

The
Palisades seismic record shows that -- as the collapses began -- a huge
seismic "spikes" marked the moment the greatest energy went into the ground.
The strongest jolts were both registered at the beginning of the collapses,
well before the falling debris struck the earth.

These
unexplained "spikes" in the seismic data tends to lend credence to the
theory that perhaps a massive explosion(s) in the lowest level of the
basements where the supporting steel columns of the WTC met the bedrock
caused the collapses.

A
"sharp spike of short duration" is how seismologist Thorne Lay of University
of California at Santa Cruz told AFP an underground nuclear explosion
appears on a seismograph.

The
two unexplained spikes are more than twenty times the amplitude of the
other seismic waves associated with the collapses and occurred in the
East-West seismic recording as the buildings began to fall.

In
the basements of the collapsed towers, where the 47 central support columns
connected with the bedrock, hot spots of "literally molten steel" were
discovered. Such persistent and intense residual heat, 70 feet below the
surface, could explain how these crucial structural supports failed.

Peter
Tully, president of Tully Construction of Flushing, New York, told AFP
that he saw pools of "literally molten steel" at the World Trade Center.
Tully was contracted on September 11 to remove the debris from the site.

Tully
called Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of
Phoenix, Maryland, for consultation about removing the debris. CDI calls
itself "the innovator and global leader in the controlled demolition and
implosion of structures." Loizeaux, who cleaned up the bombed Federal
Building in Oklahoma City, arrived on the WTC site two days later and
wrote the clean-up plan for the entire operation.

AFP
asked Loizeaux about the report of molten steel on the site. "Yes," he
said, "hot spots of molten steel in the basements." These incredibly hot
areas were found "at the bottoms of the elevator shafts of the main towers,
down seven [basement] levels," Loizeaux said. The molten steel was found
"three, four, and five weeks later, when the rubble was being removed,"
Loizeaux said. He said molten steel was also found at 7 WTC, which collapsed
mysteriously at 5:20 on September 11th.

Construction
steel has an extremely high melting point of about 2800� Fahrenheit (1535�
Celsius). Asked what could have caused such extreme heat, Tully said,
"Think of the jet fuel."

A
way to prove that explosives had blasted the supporting steel columns
of the Twin Towers would be to examine fragments from them among the debris
for evidence of what metallurgists call "twinning". While steel is often
tested for evidence of explosions, despite numerous eyewitness reports
of explosions in the towers, the engineers involved in the FEMA-sponsored
building assessment did no such tests.

The
WTC debris was removed as fast as possible and no forensic examination
of the debris was permitted by the FBI or any other government agency.
Almost all the 300,000 tons of steel from the Twin Towers was sold to
New York scrap dealers and exported to places like China and Korea as
quickly as it could be loaded onto the ships, thereby removing the evidence.

The
magazine Fire Engineering, a respected journal of firefighting for 125
years, which publishes studies of catastrophic fires, criticized the American
Society of Civil Engineers and FEMA investigations as "a half-baked farce."
Fire Engineering editor WiIliam A. Manning wrote in the January issue:
"...the structural damage from the planes and the explosive ignition of
jet fuel in themselves were not enough to bring down the towers." Why
is such there disparity in opinion within the ranks of the fire-engineering
community?

The
immense clouds of dust and apparent disintegration of the 425,000 cubic
yards of concrete of the World Trade Center cause me to question the MIT
account of events. Describing the ruins, television evangelist Dr. Robert
Schuller said that "...there was not a single block of concrete in that
rubble." One observer described the scene "as if some high-energy disintegration
beam or laser had been focused on the towers and pulverized the concrete
into minute particles of ash and dust." The 110-ten-story World Trade
Center reduced to dust by jet fuel?

Dr.
Michael Baden, New York state's chief forensic pathologist and an expert
in pathology said in September that most of the victims' bodies should
be identifiable, because the fires had not reached the 3200�F for 30 minutes
necessary to incinerate a body. At a November press conference, Dr. Charles
Hirsch, the chief medical examiner, told grieving relatives that many
bodies had been "vaporized." Are we to believe that the people killed
on 9/11 were "vaporized" at 1700� F?

The
World Trade Center smoldering pits of molten steel burned for exactly
100 days, despite the constant spray of water being applied. The fires
were finally reported extinguished on December 19.

Also,
the collapses of the south tower at 9:59:04 took only 10 seconds while
the collapse of the north tower at 10:28:31 took only 9 seconds, this
is only slightly more than a free fall from the same height, indicating
that there was very little resistance. Yet the floors themselves are quite
robust, each one is 39" thick; the top 4" is a poured concrete slab, with
interlocking vertical steel trusses underneath. This steel would absorb
a lot of kinetic energy by crumpling as one floor fell onto another. So
how did both of the towers fall so quickly?

In
a newly release audio, two of New York City�s Bravest are heard to have
made it up to where United Airlines Flight 175 impacted, the 78th
floor. Their voices where calm, they explain what was needed to help the
many causalities and to put out the two small fires that they discovered.
The type of fire that these two NYC Firemen describe does not seem to
jive at all with the inferno that is blamed for melting the support beams
and bringing down the first steel high-rise or skyscraper ever.

Also,
Louie Cacchioli 51, another NYC firefighter, assigned to Engine 47 in
Harlem, has stated on September 11, 2001: "We were the first ones
in the second tower after the plane struck. I was taking firefighters
up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers.
On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there were bombs set in
the building. I had just asked another firefighter to stay with me, which
was a good thing because we were trapped inside the elevator and he had
the tools to get out."

"There
were probably 500 people trapped in the stairwell. It was mass chaos.
The power went out. It was dark. Everybody was screaming. We had oxygen
masks and we were giving people oxygen. Some of us made it out and some
of us didn't. I know of at least 30 firefighters who are still missing.
This is my 20th year. I am seriously considering retiring. This might
have done it."

When
cameraman and Jules Naudet arrived at WTC tower one along with other crews
of NYC Firemen and entered the building's ground floor lobby, they were
to a one completely puzzled, actually astonished, to find significant
and widespread damage to the entire lobby area; although not of a deep,
structural kind. Moreover, nowhere was there any indication whatsoever
of an incendiary-type explosion or any kind of fire in this area.

Yet
the incredible number of blown-out windows and other extensive though
rather superficial damage throughout the lobby area was profoundly perplexing
to these experienced professional firefighters in relation to the impact
of the plane eighty stories above. As one put it: "The lobby looked like
the plane hit the lobby!"

Other
reports, from firemen, have said that the FBI�s offices in NYC that were
on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th floors of
the north tower of the WTC were totally destroyed, presumably by bombs.

110)
10:00 a.m.: Bill
Wright is flying a small plane when an air traffic controller asks him
to look around outside his window. He sees United Airlines Flight 93 three
miles away - close enough to see the United Airlines colors. Air traffic
control asks him the plane's altitude, and then commands him to get away
from the plane and land immediately. Wright saw the plan rock back and
forth three or four times before he flew from the area. He speculates
that the hijackers were trying to throw off the attacking passengers.

111)
10:00 a.m.: The NRC tells all nuclear power stations to go to the highest
level of alert.

112)
10:01 a.m.: The FAA orders F-16 fighters to scramble from Toledo, Ohio.
Although the base has no fighters on stand-by alert status, it manages
to put fighters in the air 16 minutes later, a "phenomenal" response time
- but still 10 minutes after the last hijacked plane has crashed.

One
interesting aspect is that NORAD has explained that it didn't scramble
fighters from bases nearer to the hijacked planes because they only used
bases in the NORAD defensive network (a mere 7 bases in the entire US).
Yet this Toledo base wasn't part of that network, so why weren't planes
in this base and other bases scrambled an hour or more earlier? Could
it be that they were scrambled earlier, and that it was one of these F-16's
that tailed Flight 93? While it hasn't been reported in the media yet,
note this recent claim by a seismologist that there was a sonic boom in
Western Pennsylvania at 9:22. Could that have been a fighter tracking
United Airlines Flight 93?

113)10:02
a.m.: After a review of radar tapes, a radar signal of United Airlines
Flight 93 is detected near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

114)10:03 a.m.:
An unconfirmed report of a fire at the State Department in Washington
D.C. -- Later confirmed not true.

115) 10:03
a.m.: According to the FBI, the
cockpit voice recorder stops and United Airlines Flight 93 crashes near
Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in Somerset county, about 80 miles southeast
of Pittsburgh.

117)10:06:05
a.m.: According to seismic data, United Airlines Flight 93 crashes near
Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in Somerset county, about 80 miles southeast
of Pittsburgh. This is also 124 miles or 15 minutes away at 500 MPH from
Washington D.C. An eyewitness reports seeing a white plane resembling
a fighter jet circling the site just after the crash.

The
F-16's from Langley AFB arrived in Washington D.C at 9:49 a.m. The F-16
has a top speed of 1500 MPH. After the Pentagon gets hit by American Airlines
Flight 77 at 9:37, there is only one airliner left in the sky with its
transponder signal off, and once again heading directly for Washington
D.C., and that is United Airlines Flight 93. Flying at top speed these
F-16�s could have intercepted United Airlines Flight 93 within 5 to 8
minutes depending on when they would have left. Why didn�t these F-16�s
try to intercept United Airlines Flight 93?

Listen
to what a former Pentagon air traffic controller says "All those
years ago when I was at the Pentagon, this wouldn't have happened. ATC
Radar images were (and are) available in the understructures of the Pentagon,
and any commercial flight within 300 miles of D. C. that made an abrupt
course change toward Washington, or turned off their transponder and refused
to communicate with ATC, would have been intercepted at supersonic speeds
within minutes by fighters out of Andrews AFB. Why there were no fighters
from Andrews AFB up baffles me. If we could get fighters notified, scrambled,
and airborne within about 6 minutes from Andrews AFB then, we could now."

Shortly
after 911, a flight controller in New Hampshire ignores a ban on controllers
speaking to the media, and it is reported he claims "that an F-16 fighter
closely pursued Flight 93... the F-16 made 360-degree turns to remain
close to the commercial jet, the employee said. 'He must've seen the whole
thing,' the employee said of the F-16 pilot's view of Flight 93's crash."

Numerous
eyewitnesses see and hear United Airlines Flight 93 just before its crash:

1)
Terry Butler, at Stoystown: he sees the plane come out of the clouds,
low to the ground. "It was moving like you wouldn't believe. Next thing
I knew it makes a heck of a sharp, right-hand turn." It banks to the right
and appears to be trying to climb to clear one of the ridges, but it continues
to turn to the right and then veers behind a ridge. About a second later
it crashes.

2)
Ernie Stuhl, the mayor of Shanksville: "I know of two people -- I will
not mention names -- that heard a missile. They both live very close,
within a couple of hundred yards... This one fellow's served in Vietnam
and he says he's heard them, and he heard one that day." He adds that
based on what he has learned; F-16's were "very, very close."

3)
Laura Temyer of Hooversville: "I didn't see the plane but I heard the
plane's engine. Then I heard a loud thump that echoed off the hills and
then I heard the plane's engine. I heard two more loud thumps and didn't
hear the plane's engine anymore after that" (she insists that people she
knows in state law enforcement have privately told her the plane was shot
down, and that decompression sucked objects from the aircraft, explaining
why there was a wide debris field).

4)
Charles Sturtz, a half-mile from the crash site: The plane is heading
southeast and has its engines running. No smoke can be seen. "It was really
roaring, you know. Like it was trying to go someplace, I guess."

5)
Michael Merringer, two miles from the crash site: "I heard the engine
gun two different times and then I heard a loud bang"

6)
Tim Lensbouer, 300 yards away: "I heard it for 10 or 15 seconds and it
sounded like it was going full bore." Accounts have the plane flying upside
down.

7)
Rob Kimmel, several miles from the crash site: He sees it fly overhead,
banking hard to the right. It is 200 feet or less off the ground as it
crests a hill to the southeast. "I saw the top of the plane, not the bottom."

8)
Eric Peterson of Lambertsville: He sees a plane flying overhead unusually
low. The plane seemed to be turning end-over-end as it dropped out of
sight behind a tree line.

9)
Bob Blair of Stoystown: He sees the plane spiraling and flying upside
down before crashing. It�s not much higher than the treetops. Accounts
of a sudden plunge and more strange sounds.

10)
An unnamed witness says he hears two loud bangs before watching the plane
take a downward turn of nearly 90 degrees.

11)
Another unnamed witness sees the plane overhead. It makes a high-pitched,
screeching sound. The plane then makes a sharp, 90-degree downward turn
and crashes.

12)
Tom Fritz, about a quarter-mile from the crash site: he hears a sound
that "wasn't quite right" and looks up in the sky. "It dropped all of
a sudden, like a stone," going "so fast that you couldn't even make out
what color it was."

13)
Terry Butler, a few miles north of Lambertsville: "It dropped out of the
clouds." The plane rose slightly, trying to gain altitude, then "it just
went flip to the right and then straight down."

14)
Lee Purbaugh, 300 yards away: "There was an incredibly loud rumbling sound
and there it was, right there, right above my head � maybe 50 feet up...
I saw it rock from side to side then, suddenly, it dipped and dived, nose
first, with a huge explosion, into the ground. I knew immediately that
no one could possibly have survived."

15)
Linda Shepley: She hears a loud bang and sees the plane bank to the side.
She sees the plane wobbling right and left, at a low altitude of roughly
2,500 feet, when suddenly the right wing dips straight down, and the plane
plunges into the earth. She says had an unobstructed view of Flight 93's
final two minutes.

16)
Kelly Leverknight in Stony Creek Township of Shanksville: "There was no
smoke, it just went straight down. I saw the belly of the plane." It sounds
like it is flying low, and its heading east.

17)
Tim Thornsberg, working in a nearby strip-mine: "It came in low over the
trees and started wobbling. Then it just rolled over and was flying upside
down for a few seconds ... and then it kind of stalled and did a nose
dive over the trees."

What
sense can be made of all these different accounts? Some say it was flying
a couple thousand feet up and suddenly plunged down, some say it was flying
extremely low. Turns, climbs, strange noises, flipping, etc. While many
of these accounts conflict, virtually all support a missile strike, because
of the common theme of noises and a plane struggling to rise and stay
in the air. The plunge doesn't seem to be a deliberate thrust of the plane
towards the ground, but instead the result of engine failure. Other passenger
planes hit by missiles continued to fly for several minutes before crashing.
For instance, two Russian missiles hit a Korean Airline 747 in 1983, yet
it continued to fly for two more minutes.

118)
10:06 a.m.: and after "Lee Purbaugh is one of at least half a dozen named
individuals who have reported seeing a second plane flying low and in
erratic patterns, not much above treetop level, over the crash site within
minutes of United Airlines Flight 93 crashing. They describe the plane
as a small, white jet with rear engines and no discernible markings."

Susan
Mcelwain saw a small white jet with rear engines and no discernible markings
swooped low over her minivan near an intersection and disappeared over
a hilltop, nearly clipping the tops of trees lining the ridge. She saw
this less than a minute before the United Airlines Flight 93 crash rocked
the countryside.

Dennis
Decker and Rick Chaney, Decker speaking: "As soon as we looked up [after
hearing United Airlines Flight 93 crash], we saw a midsize jet flying
low and fast. It appeared to make a loop or part of a circle, and then
it turned fast and headed out." Decker and Chaney described the plane
as a Lear-jet type, with engines mounted near the tail and painted white
with no identifying markings. "It was a jet plane, and it had to be flying
real close when that 757 went down. If I was the FBI, I'd find out who
was driving that plane."

Jim
Brandt and Tom Spinello both report seeing a small plane with no markings
stay about one or two minutes over the crash site before leaving. The
FBI later says this was a Fairchild Falcon 20 business jet, directed after
the crash to fly from 37,000 feet to 5,000 feet and obtain the coordinates
for the crash site to help rescuers. The FBI also says there was a C-130
military cargo aircraft flying at 24,000 feet about 17 miles away, but
that plane wasn't armed and had no role in the crash. Was the unmarked
jet some kind of reconnaissance plane, and the C-130 a cover story for
sending fighters in the area?

119)10:07 a.m.: A NYC Police helicopter sends an urgent
message over the radio that the North Tower is leaning and in imminent
danger of collapse.

120) 10:08 a.m.: Secret Service agents armed
with automatic rifles are deployed into Lafayette Park across from the
White House.

121)

10:13 a.m.: Almost 12,000 people are evacuated from The United Nations.

125)
10:15 a.m.: The Palestinian group Democratic Front for the Liberation
of Palestine (DFLP) reportedly takes responsibility for the crashes, but
this is quickly denied by a senior officer of the group.

126)
10:15 a.m.: 2,000 planes have landed in the U.S. since the 9:40 FAA order
was issued telling all planes in the air to land at the nearest airport.

128)
10:22 a.m.: In Washington D.C., the Justice and State departments are
evacuated, along with the World Bank.

129)
10:24 a.m.: The FAA reports that all inbound transatlantic aircraft flying
into the United States are being diverted to Canada.

130)
10:28:31 a.m.: The North Tower of the World Trade Center collapses. The
fact that the northern tower withstood much longer than the southern one
is later attributed to three facts: the region of impact was higher, the
speed of the airplane was lower, and the affected floors had their fire
proofing upgraded.

Exactly
at the beginning of the collapse of the north tower there was a seismic
event that was the equivalent to a magnitude 2.3 earthquake. This unexplained
"spike" in the seismic data tends to lend credence to the theory that
perhaps a massive explosion(s) in the lowest level of the basement where
the supporting steel columns of the WTC met the bedrock that caused the
collapse (see 9:59:04 a.m. # 109).

131)
10:32 a.m.: Cheney called Bush on Air Force One, on its way from Florida
to Washington, to say the White House had just received a threat against
the plane. The caller had used its code word, "Angel," suggesting terrorists
had inside information. Card was told it would take between 40 minutes
and 90 minutes to get a protective fighter escort up to Air Force One.

Bush
told an aide that Air Force One "is next." He was in an angry mood. "We're
going to find out who did this," he said to Cheney, "and we're going to
kick their asses."

132)
10:35 a.m.: Washington D.C. Police are reportedly alerted about a bomb
in a car outside the State Department. Later reports claim that nothing
happened at the State Department.

133)
10:41 a.m.: Air Force One was still en route to Washington when Cheney
called again. This time, he urged Bush not to return. "There's still a
threat to Washington." Rice agreed, and had told Bush the same thing.

There
was little debate or discussion. Cheney was worried the terrorists might
be trying to decapitate the government, to kill its leaders. Bush agreed.

134)
10:43 a.m.: Air Force One banks suddenly and sharply to the left, its
course now westerly toward Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. It was
within easy range, and once there food and fuel could be loaded and the
president could have access to its more sophisticated communications systems.

141)
10:57 a.m.: New York Gov. George Pataki says all state government offices
are closed.

142)
11:00 a.m.: Evacuations are ordered at the tallest skyscrapers in several
cities, and major tourist attractions are closed, including Walt Disney
World, Philadelphia's Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, Seattle's Space

of the area south of Canal Street (see 1:02 p.m. # 159).

144)
11:08 a.m.: Canada shuts down all airports.

145)
11:15 a.m.: There were reports that the F-16�s over Washington had shot
something down. There was no later confirmation of these reports.

146)
11:16 a.m.: CNN reports that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
are preparing emergency-response teams in a precautionary move.

147)
11:17 a.m.: American Airlines reports it has lost two aircraft. American
Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 flying from Boston to Los Angeles, had
81 passengers and 11 crewmembers aboard. American Airlines Flight 77,
a Boeing 757 en route from Washington's Dulles Airport to Los Angeles,
had 58 passengers and six crew members aboard.

Jersey, to San Francisco, has crashed in Pennsylvania, southeast of Pittsburgh.

149)
11:40 a.m.: Air Force One arrives at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

150)
11:45 a.m.: From Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, Bush made a brief
and informal initial statement to the effect that terrorism on U.S. soil
would not be tolerated, stating that "freedom itself has been attacked
and freedom will be protected."

151)
11:53
a.m.: United Airlines confirms that Flight 175, from Boston to Los Angeles,
has crashed with 56 passengers and nine crewmembers aboard.

Flight 93 is evacuated and shut down.

156)
12:15 p.m.: The Immigration and Naturalization Service says U.S. borders
with Canada and Mexico are on the highest state of alert, but no decision
is made about closing the borders.

157)
12:16 p.m.: The FAA says all aircraft ordered to land at 9:40 have landed.

158)
12:30 p.m.: The FAA says 50 flights are in U.S. airspace, but none are
reporting any problems.

159)
12:36 p.m.: Bush finally appeared on television from the Barksdale Air
Force Base conference room, it was not a reassuring picture. He spoke
haltingly, mispronouncing several words as he looked down at his notes.
He says that all appropriate security measures are being taken, including
putting the United States military on high alert worldwide. He asks for
prayers for those killed or wounded in the attacks and says: "Make no
mistake, the United States will hunt down and punish those responsible
for these cowardly acts."

When
he got to the last sentence, he seemed to gain strength. "The resolve
of our great nation is being tested," he said in even tones. "But make
no mistake: We will show the world that we will pass this test."

His
remarks were fed by the media pool to the networks, causing a short delay
before the nation could see them. The entire statement consisted of just
219 words, and Bush took no questions from reporters.

160)
1:00 p.m.: At the Pentagon, fire crews are still fighting fires. The early
response to the attack had been coordinated from the National Military
Command Center, but that had to be evacuated when it began to fill with
smoke.

162)
1:27 p.m.: Mayor Anthony A. Williams of Washington, D.C., declares a state
of emergency; the National Guard arrives on site.

163)
1:44 a.m.: The Pentagon says five warships and two aircraft carriers (USS
George Washington and USS John F. Kennedy) will leave Norfolk, Virginia
to protect the East Coast from further attack and to reduce the number
of ships in port.

164)
1:48 p.m.: President Bush leaves Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana
aboard Air Force One and flies to an undisclosed location. He flies to
the Strategic Air Command (SAC) bunker at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska
where there were secure facilities that would allow the president to conduct
a meeting of his National Security Council in Washington over a video
link.

On
the plane, Bush expressed his irritation over being away from the White
House. "I want to go back home ASAP," he told Card, according to notes
of the conversation. "I don't want whoever did this holding me outside
of Washington."

Some
aides recall Bush saying he would return to Washington later in the day,
unless there was some extraordinary new threat. The senior Secret Service
agent aboard Air Force One told Bush the situation was "too unsteady still"
to allow his return. "The right thing is to let the dust settle," Card
said.

165)
2:00 p.m.: Senior FBI sources tell CNN they are working on the assumption
that the four airplanes that crashed were hijacked as part of a terrorist
attack.

166)
2:15 p.m.: Bush onboard Air Force One en route to the (SAC) bunker at
Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska talks to Cheney again and schedules
a 4 p.m. meeting of his national security staff -- He also talks to New
York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Gov. George Pataki. "I know your heart is
broken and your city is strained and anything we can do, let me know,"
Bush says.

167)
2:30 p.m.: The FAA announces there will be no U.S. commercial air traffic
until noon EDT Wednesday.

168)
2:30 p.m.: Senator John McCain characterizes attack as an "act of war."

169)
2:36 p.m.: En route to Offutt, Bush reached his father on the phone. His
aides left him alone in the cabin. "Where are you?" Bush recalled asking
his father. The former president said he and his wife, Barbara, were in
Milwaukee, on their way to Minneapolis. "What are you doing in Milwaukee?"
"You grounded my plane," the former president said.

170)
2:49 p.m.: At a news conference, Giuliani says that subway and bus service
are restored in New York City. Asked about the number of people killed,
Giuliani says, "I don't think we want to speculate about that -- more
than any of us can bear."

171)
2:50 p.m.: Before leaving Air Force One, Bush repeated to his lead Secret
Service agent, "We need to get back to Washington. We don't need some
tinhorn terrorist to scare us off. The American people want to know where
their president is."

172)
2:51 p.m.: The Navy dispatches missile destroyers and other equipment
to New York and Washington.

173)
3:06 p.m.: Air Force One landed at U.S. Strategic Air Command at Offutt
Air Force Base in Nebraska. Bush was driven the short distance to the
U.S. Strategic Command headquarters and was ushered into the secure command
center, a cavernous room with multi-story video screens and batteries
of military personnel at computer terminals hooked into satellites monitoring
activities around the globe. As Bush arrived, they were tracking a commercial
airliner on its way from Spain to the United States. It was giving out
an emergency signal, indicating it might be hijacked.

Very bizarrely, Warren
Buffett, (reported to be the second richest person on Earth), has a golf
outing for top Corporate CEO�s, at the same Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.
What is the likelihood of that happening?

174)
3:30 p.m.: Bush convened the day's first meeting of his National Security
Council; the others were piped in by secure video links from various command
centers in Washington.

CIA
Director Tenet reported that he was virtually certain Usama bin Laden
and his network were behind the attacks. A check of the passenger manifests
of the hijacked flights had turned up three known al-Qaeda operatives
on American Airlines Flight 77, which had struck the Pentagon. Please
check out the passenger name manifest list (there are no Arabic names
on the list).

One
of them, Khalid Al-Midhar, had come to the CIA's attention the previous
year, when he traveled to Malaysia and met with a key al-Qaeda suspect
in the 2000 terrorist bombing of the USS Cole. The FBI had been informed
about Al-Midhar and he had been put on a watch list, but he had slipped
into the United States over the summer and the bureau had been looking
for him since. Tenet said al-Qaeda was the only terrorist organization
in the world that had the capability to pull off such well-coordinated
attacks. And, he said, intelligence monitoring had overheard a number
of known Usama bin Laden operatives congratulating each other after the
strikes. Intelligence monitoring also found five Mossad agents congratulating
themselves after the strike. Israel is the only terrorist state in the
world that had the capacity to pull off such a well coordinated strike
and pin the blame on others. He said information collected before September
11 but only now being processed indicated that operatives had expected
something big. But none of it specified the day, time or place of the
attacks in a way that would have allowed the CIA or FBI to preempt them.

"Get
your ears up," Bush told Tenet and the others. "The primary mission of
this administration is to find them and catch them." Cheney voiced concern
that more hijacked planes could be out there. Tenet said that since all
the attacks had taken place before 10 a.m., that was probably it for the
day but there was no way to be sure. FBI Director Mueller expressed concerns
that investigators still did not know how the terrorists had penetrated
airport security. Tenet said it was essential to know this before flights
resumed.

"I'll
announce more security measures, but we won't be held hostage," Bush insisted.
"We'll fly at noon tomorrow," he said, although it took three more days
for commercial flights to resume and then only on a reduced schedule.

Someone
mentioned that New York officials had asked whether they should urge people
to go back to work the next day, particularly those working in banks and
the financial markets. "Terrorists can always attack," Rumsfeld said.
"The Pentagon's going back to work tomorrow." People in New York should
go back to work, the president said. "Banks should open tomorrow, too."

Bush
asked about coming back to Washington, although he had already told his
traveling party that he would fly back immediately after the video conference.
Cheney suggested the president return and make a statement at Andrews,
but the Secret Service still insisted that it was not safe. "I'm coming
back," Bush said.

As
the meeting was ending Bush said, "We will find these people. They will
pay. And I don't want you to have any doubt about it."

In
the course of this NSC videoconference, CIA Director George Tenet fed
unconfirmed information to Bush. Tenet stated, "He was virtually certain
that Usama bin Laden and his network were behind the attacks."

184)
5:00
p.m.: The first national television feed of United Airlines Flight 93
crash site -- A long shot, showing a 20 foot wide smoldering hole in the
ground. Why does it take almost 7 hours to get anything on the television
from this crash?

185)
5:15 p.m.: CNN Military Affairs Correspondent Jamie McIntyre reports fires
are still burning in part of the Pentagon. No death figures have been
released yet.

186)
5:20:33 p.m.: World Trade Center Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper, collapses.
The evacuated building is damaged when the twin towers across the street
collapse earlier in the day. The CIA (secretly) and the United States
Secret Service had offices in this building. How and why World Trade Center
Building 7 fell is still quite the mystery.

187) 5:30 p.m.: CNN Senior
White House Correspondent John King reports that U.S. officials say the
plane that crashed in Pennsylvania could have been headed for one of three
possible targets: Camp David, the White House or the U.S. Capitol building.

attacks targeted financial and military centers in the United States.
Afghanistan is believed to be the home of Saudi militant Usama bin Laden,
who U.S. officials say is possibly behind Tuesday's deadly attacks. U.S.
officials say later that the United States had no involvement in the incident
whatsoever.

is scheduled to address the nation at 8:30 p.m. The pResident earlier
landed at Andrews Air Force Base with a three-fighter jet escort. CNN's
John King reports Laura Bush arrived earlier by motorcade from a "secure
location."

So,
when Air Force One departed Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport at
9:59 a.m. there
was no extra military protection (fighter jets) even thoughthere are still hundreds
of airliners in the air, and who knew how many of them were hostile or
not? Yet, when Air
Force Onearrives
back home at Andrews Air Force Base, there are no airliners in the sky,
and now he has a three-fighter jet escort.

Why
did every TV station show the fighters protecting him on his way from
U.S.
Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base
to Andrews Air Force Base, making it seem as if they were always there
when they weren't? Why
when he needed an escort from the fighters the most they are not there,
yet when the skies are empty they are there (see 9:59 a.m. # 108)?

Also,
please take a look at the August 30, 2002 BBC article which states: In
the immediate aftermath of the terror attacks US fighter planes took to
the skies to defend America from any further attacks. Their mission was
to protect pResident George W. Bush and to intercept any hijacked aircraft
heading to other targets in the US. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2222205.stm

firefighters on the scene were killed.

198)
8:30 p.m.: Bush addresses the nation, saying, "Thousands of lives were
suddenly ended by evil" and asks for prayers for the families and friends
of Tuesday's victims. "These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent
the steel of American resolve," he says. The pResident says the U.S. government
will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed the acts
and those who harbor them. He adds that government offices in Washington
are reopening for essential personnel Tuesday night and for all workers
Wednesday.

199)
9:00 p.m.: Bush met with his full National Security Council, followed
roughly half an hour later by the meeting with a smaller group of key
advisers who would become his war cabinet.

Powell,
back in Washington from Peru, described the immediate diplomatic tasks:
dealing with Afghanistan and its ruling Taliban, which harbored bin Laden,
and neighboring Pakistan, which had closer ties to the Taliban regime
than any other nation. "We have to make it clear to Pakistan and Afghanistan
this is show-time," Powell said.

"This
is a great opportunity," Bush said, adding that the administration now
had a chance to improve relations with other countries around the world,
including Russia and China. It was more than flushing bin Laden out, he
indicated.

Cheney
raised the military problem of retaliating against al-Qaeda's home base,
noting that in Afghanistan, a country decimated by two decades of war,
it would be hard to find anything to hit.

Bush
returned to the problem of Usama bin Laden's sanctuary in Afghanistan.
Tenet said they must deny the terrorists that sanctuary by targeting the
Taliban as well. Tell the Taliban we're finished with them, he urged.

Rumsfeld
said the problem was not just bin Laden and al-Qaeda but the countries
that supported terrorism-the point of the president's address that night.

Bush
said, "We have to force countries to choose."

200)
9:22 p.m.: CNN's McIntyre reports the fire at the Pentagon is still burning
and is considered contained but not under control.

201)
9:30 p.m.: Bush brought together his most senior national security advisers
in a bunker beneath the White House grounds. It was just 13 hours after
the deadliest attack on the U.S. homeland in the country's history. At
the war cabinet, discussion turned
to whether Usama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network and the Taliban were the
same. Tenet said they were. Usama bin Laden had bought his way into Afghanistan,
supplying the Taliban with tens of millions of dollars.

202)
9:57 p.m.: Giuliani says New York City schools will be closed Wednesday
and no more volunteers are needed for Tuesday evening's rescue efforts.
He says there is hope that there are still people alive in rubble. He
also says that power is out on the westside of Manhattan and that health
department tests show there are no airborne chemical agents about which
to worry.

203)
10:49 p.m.: CNN Congressional Correspondent Jonathan Karl reports that
Attorney General Ashcroft told members of Congress that there were three
to five hijackers on each plane armed only with knives.

204)

are people alive in buildings near the World Trade Center.

205)
11:00 p.m.: The war cabinet finishes it�s meeting and has decided to embark
upon a military strike against Afghanistan, and a prolonged war on terror.

206)
11:00 p.m.: There are reports of survivors buried in the rubble in New
York making cell phone calls. These rumors, however, are difficult to
substantiate.

After
the meeting had ended and Bush had returned to the residence, he and his
wife were awakened by Secret Service agents. The agents rushed them downstairs
to the bunker because of a report of an unidentified plane in the area.
Bush was in running shorts and a T-shirt as he made his way down the stairs,
through the tunnel and into the bunker. It proved to be a false alarm,
and the Bushes returned to the residence for the rest of the night.

Like
his father, Bush tries to keep a daily diary of his thoughts and observations.
That night, he dictated: "The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place
today."

"We
think its Usama bin Laden." "We think there are other targets in the United
States, but I have urged the country to go back to normal." "We cannot
allow a terrorist thug to hold us hostage. My hope is that this will provide
an opportunity for us to rally the world against terrorism."

208)
11:54 p.m.: CNN Washington Bureau Chief Frank Sesno reports that a government
official told him there was an open microphone on one of the hijacked
planes and that sounds of discussion and "duress" were heard. Sesno also
reports a source says law enforcement has "credible" information and leads
and is confident about the investigation.

209)
11:59:59 p.m.: The United Nations International Day Of Peace Ends.

210)
On September 11, 2001 and everyday before and after we have let 35,615
of our brother and sisters die from the worst possible death, starvation.
Somewhere around 85% of these starvation deaths occur in children 5 years
of age or younger. Why are we letting 30,273 of our beautiful children
die the worst possible death everyday?

211)
The World Trade Center had been attacked before. On Feb. 26, 1993, terrorists
detonated a truck bomb in the basement-parking garage. Six people in the
underground levels died and thousands of workers spent hours walking down
dark, smoky stairwells to evacuate the buildings; the elevators had shut
down.

212)
Understand United States History: From the USS Maine being destroyed in
1898 (Spanish American War), to the Lusitania being sunk in 1915 (WWI),
to our provoking and allowing Pearl Harbor's attack in 1941 (WWII) (the
book "Deceit At Pearl Harbor" lays this out very well), to the Gulf
of Tonkin in 1964 (Viet Nam) and the 300 babies slaughtered in their incubators
in 1991 by Iraq (Desert Storm). When you have finished the above, check
out the newly discovered Operation Northwoods files that was signed off
by all five members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1962 (uncovered
by James Bamford in his book "Body Of Secrets" about the National Security
Agency).

Since
1952, the United States has promoted, financed and participated in over
20 separate wars, killing 8 million people for capitalistic corporate
profits.

There
is also another piece of history that is relevant to provoking patriotism
in the masses that is akin to September 11, and that is the German Reichstag
fire of 1933, which brought in Hitler and the Nazis into power. As Hermann
Goering, the commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe for the Nazis, said:
"All you have to do is tell the people they are being attacked, and denounce
the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in any country."

A
little history about the Bush family: The grandfather of President George
W. Bush (Skull and Bones, 1968) was Prescott Bush (Skull and Bones, 1917),
and his great grand father was George Herbert Walker. Prescott Bush and
George Herbert (Bert) Walker were directors of the London-affiliated New
York banking house of Brown Brothers-Harriman and its various fronts,
which funded and directed the military-industrial complex behind Hitler
and the Nazi revolution. In 1919, George Herbert Walker had organized
W.A. Harriman and Company, which merged with the British Brown Brothers
in 1931.

In
1924, Averell Harriman (Skull and Bones, 1913) and Fritz Thyssen, the
German industrialist who began funding Hitler in 1923, set up the Union
Banking Corp in New York to handle funds supplied to it through Thyssen's
Dutch bank for American investment. Prescott Bush, who had been an officer
of the W.A. Harriman bank since 1926, was a director of the Union Banking
Corp from 1934 through 1943. According to government documents, "all of
the shares of the Union Banking Corporation were held for the benefit
of members of the Thyssen family.

The
federal government did not crack down on the Bush-Harriman / Nazi operation
until 1942. After the war, Congressional investigation revealed that Fritz
Thyssen's German Steel Trust, Germany's largest industrial corporation
[which interlocked with Union Banking Corporation] produced a high percentage
of Germany's national output of metal products and explosives. Vesting
Orders signed by the Office of Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley,
which were published in obscure government record books and kept out of
the news, explained nothing about the Nazis involved; only that the Union
Banking Corporation was run for the Thyssen family of Germany and / or
Hungary -- nationals...of a designated enemy country.

In
October 1942, ten months after entering World War II, America was preparing
its first assault against Nazi military forces. Prescott Bush was managing
partner of Brown Brothers Harriman. His 18-year-old son George, the future
U.S. President, had just begun training to become a naval pilot. On Oct.
20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking
operations in New York City, which were being conducted by Prescott Bush.
Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the government took over the Union
Banking Corporation, in which Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property
Custodian seized Union Banking Corp.'s stock shares, all of which were
owned by Prescott Bush, E. Roland 'Bunny' Harriman, three Nazi executives,
and two other associates of Bush.

By
Oct. 26, 1942, U.S. troops were under way for North Africa. On Oct. 28,
the government issued orders seizing two Nazi front organizations run
by the Bush-Harriman bank: the Holland-American Trading Corporation and
the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation. U.S. forces landed under fire
near Algiers on Nov. 8, 1942; heavy combat raged throughout November.
Nazi interests in the Silesian-American Corporation, long managed by Prescott
Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker, were seized under the
Trading with the Enemy Act on Nov. 17, 1942. In this action, the government
announced that it was seizing only the Nazi interests, leaving the Nazis'
U.S. partners to carry on the business.

These
and other actions taken by the U.S. government in wartime were, tragically,
too little and too late. President Bush's family had already played a
central role in financing and arming Adolf Hitler for his takeover of
Germany; in financing and managing the buildup of Nazi war industries
for the conquest of Europe and war against the U.S.A.; and in the development
of Nazi genocide theories and racial propaganda, with their well-known
results.

Both
Bush and Cheney personally intervened and asked Senate Majority Leader
Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) to "limit the congressional investigation into
the events of Sept. 11," according to CNN. Bush made the unusual
request at a private meeting with congressional leaders on Jan. 29. He
asked that the House and Senate intelligence committees look only into
"the potential breakdowns among federal agencies that could have
allowed the terrorist attacks to occur," rather than conduct a comprehensive
inquiry.

Cheney
made a similar appeal to Daschle on Jan. 25. "The vice president
expressed the concern that a review of what happened on Sept. 11 would
take resources and personnel away from the effort in the war on terrorism,"
Daschle said. "I acknowledged that concern, and it is for that reason
that the Intelligence Committee is going to begin this effort, trying
to limit the scope and the overall review of what happened."

During
the address to the country from
Emma E. Booker Elementary School on September 11, 2001 Bush
also promised a full investigation into 911. Well here we are one year
later and there is still no investigation. Matter of fact he has done
everything in his power so there will not be any investigation into 911.
Why?

Watch the video of
Bush addressing the country from Emma E. Booker Elementary School promising
a full investigation into 911.

Privately,
the cowards who call themselves Democrats questioned why the White House
feared a broader investigation to determine possible culpability.

A
forensic investigation into what actually caused the buildings to collapse
has not been opened and probably never will because the crucial evidence,
such as steel from the building, was quickly removed rather than taken
to a metallurgical laboratory to be examined. Fire Engineering magazine,
a 125-year old respected journal which publishes technical studies of
major fires, criticized the investigation by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) as "a half-baked farce."

The
journal said it "has good reason to believe that the �official investigation�
blessed by FEMA and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers is
a half-baked farce, commandeered by political forces whose primary interests
lie far afield of full disclosure."

Why
isn't the United States government fully investigating each and every
detail of what occurred prior to, and on September 11th? When Pearl Harbor
was attacked on December 7, 1941 and John F. Kennedy was assassinated
on November 22, 1963 there were full independent investigations started
within two weeks. Why hasn't there been a full independent investigation
on September 11, 2001?

Finally, ask yourself these two simple questions
about 911:
Who had the most to gain (follow the money)? Who
had the most to lose?

What
happened to our first amendment? Where are all of the free and open debates
in the United States Questioning September 11th? I, Mark Elsis will debate
anyone or any panel on this issue. Does any formidable opponent dare to
debate me about what really happened on September 11, 2001?

September 11, 1922, One of the
things that the League of Nations did during its short period of existence
was to grant Great Britain a special "Mandate" to establish
a homeland for the Jewish people in the territory of Palestine, which
had been taken from the newly defeated Turkish Empire. History records
that the administration of this mandate effectively began with the swearing
into office as High Commissioner and Commander in Chief for Palestine
of the Right Honorable Sir Herbert Samuel, in Jerusalem, on September
11, 1922.

September 11, 1922,
The final achievement of Brandeis and American Zionism in the post-war
period was the passage by Congress on September 11, 1922 of a joint resolution
favoring a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The words of the resolution practically
echoed the Balfour Declaration.

September 11, 1941,
Construction begins on the Pentagon.

September 11, 1941,
Charles Lindbergh spoke about the danger of Jewish power in the media
and government. The shy 39-year-old -- known around the world for his
epic 1927 New York to Paris flight, the first solo trans-Atlantic crossing
-- was addressing 7,000 people in Des Moines, Iowa, on September 11, 1941,
about the dangers of U.S. involvement in the war then raging in Europe.
The three most important groups pressing America into war, he explained,
were the British, the Jews and the Roosevelt Administration.

Of
the Jews, he said: "Their greatest danger to this country lies in
their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press,
our radio, and our government." Lindbergh went on: "... For
reasons which are understandable from their viewpoint as they are inadvisable
from ours, for reasons which are not American, [they] wish to involve
us in the war. We cannot blame them for looking out for what they believe
to be their own interests, but we must also look out for ours. We cannot
allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our
country to destruction."

September 11, 1973:
President Salvador Allende of Chile was assassinated and his country taken
over by a United States backed coup.

September 11, 1994:
A lone pilot crashed a stolen single-engine Cessna into a tree on the
White House grounds just short of the President Clinton�s bedroom.
